Base Engine<br />
Fuel Filter<br />
<strong>The</strong> five-micron fuel filter traps the smallest<br />
impurities, providing clean fuel and extending<br />
injector life.<br />
Oil Filter<br />
Volvo full-flow and bypass oil filters are<br />
manufactured to have the correct balance<br />
between flow rate and size. This ensures that<br />
oil flow saturates the entire filter media, and<br />
provides for extreme oil cleanliness throughout<br />
the service interval.<br />
Coolant Filter<br />
<strong>The</strong> coolant filter protects the integrity of the<br />
coolant system, the water pump and thermostat,<br />
and their respective seals by removing impurities<br />
and contaminates.<br />
Camshaft damper AND Rear Drive<br />
<strong>The</strong> Volvo engine’s reputation for its smooth,<br />
quiet operation is not by accident. Unique to<br />
the <strong>D13</strong> is a camshaft damper which absorbs<br />
camshaft torsionals induced by the ultra-high<br />
fuel injection pressure. Additionally, as a member<br />
of the engine gear train, the large mass of the<br />
flywheel absorbs inputs from the other gears<br />
for a smoother operating engine and extended<br />
component reliability and life.<br />
POWER CYLINDER<br />
At the heart of the power cylinder is a stiff<br />
connecting rod with wide journals and four-bolt<br />
attachment for superior strength and a rifle drilled<br />
oil passage for pressurized lubrication of the<br />
piston pin. For maximum strength under high<br />
temperatures, the piston is oil-cooled and utilizes<br />
a one-piece monotherm design. <strong>The</strong> top piston<br />
ring uses a proprietary PVD coating process,<br />
which when mated with the plateau honed<br />
cylinder liners provides excellent oil control and<br />
minimizes bore wear for long engine life.
